    The content is still great, and this offering of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy remains an easy recommendation to anyone who’s never experienced them before.

    There's no denying that breaking down an arrogant witness, and ultimately winning a case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney feel fantastic. Fitting in the right pieces of evidence to find contradictions is extremely satisfying, I just wish there was more depth, and a little more nuance, to both the witnesses you're breaking down, and the game at large.

    If Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy were a less lazy operation, at the bottom of this page would take a very different score.

    The fact that the game was a visual novel,and never had played one before, made me think that it wouldn't be that enjoyable. But I was justThe fact that the game was a visual novel,and never had played one before, made me think that it wouldn't be that enjoyable. But I was just plain wrong (not only for this game but for the genre in general) and all I had to do to learn that this game is a masterpiece was to just play the first 30 minutes. This is all it takes to realize that this game isn't going to make you let it off. In fact, you are going to have an unforgettable time. The cases are brilliant and amazing with tons of humor, thrill and overwhelming twists that will blow your mind. There are two main parts of the game. The invastigations and the trials. The invastigations weren't my favorite parts most of the times but the trials are phenomenal. About the humor trait of this game, there wasn't a time that 5 minutes passed without laughing. It's original, amazing and of the most important traits of this game. There were 3 cases specifically that will always be in my mind since they touch perfection. I was so overwhelmed and mind blows playing these. Not that the others aren't amazing of course,but those 3 are making you empathize and appreciate the characters way more. However, subjectivity is a huge factor in the matter, but trust me, not those 3.There is also another one who made me change opinion about another character completely, and now he one of my favorites.As for the rest characters in general, they are all unique. Some good, some great, some unforgettable, some average, some bad. All personalities are there. I rarely emphasize with characters in games and this one is one of those that made me do just that. The dialogues are incredibly good written and the voice lines used in court are iconic. Also, the soundtrack is just amazing, as well as the incredible sprites and their animations. In conclusion, this game is almost perfect and you definitely should give it a try,even if you don't feel like being into this genre.… Full Review »

    The first game was worth the 30 euro price tag alone but to have all three is just amazing.

I'm into thr third game and liekly have had 40 hours of just a great time. It's simple enough to not be a headache and just complicated enough that you need to pay atrention to the details.

    The writing is fantastic. The sound and music is phenomenal. The graphics are serviceable to begin with and often have some nice art in rare places. Text upscales to 4k very well and honestly one would have to look within two feet or so to notice that it is not really 4k dispite the scale.

    My only critism worth mentioning beside individual critique of certain cases is the options and in particular the skip text option, the normal skip will have you pressing multiple times and often hammering X, the skip box is the box is the best option but you will likely skip pargraphs by accent. There should be a reverse text button at all times as there is with witness testimonies. Other than that some parts of the games can drag but this is only an issue because it is 3 games in one and each game is perfectly sized. Content is never a bad thing.

    A really well done port if jist a tad finicky and three great games (As far as I can see with three episodes left). In fact, the games get better as they go on with new mechanics opeing up greater depth. A real gem.    … Full Review »
